pighair47 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I was just wondering if any one had heard anything about the legality of smoking hookah outside on college campuses in New York, figured i would do some research before i go ask university police.

bdot Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 It depends on your school. I go to SUNY where hookah's aren't allowed. Their reasoning is a hookah is considered NHT paraphernalia and if they catch us with it we get written up. It is different at other schools though, for example, a friend of mine who goes to SUNY Binghamton smokes outside quite often and the university police don't care as long as there is no illegal substances in it. My advice is to ask before your RA, or the uni police before you do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indian_villager Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I'm from ny but did my college studies in NJ. I sat outside my dorms in front of the Public Safety office, smoking and the cops never hassled me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotsi95 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Check with your university, IMO smoking is smoking so if they allow any form of smoking on your campus you should be allowed to smoke your hookah in those same spots. It is still tobacco, do you think they would hassle someone smoking a traditional tobacco pipe? Of course not so what makes a hookah any different?

EAK1791 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I don't know much about laws in NY. But in VA, it cannot be considered drug paraphernalia unless it has drug residue in it. But i agree with checking with your RA and other uni officials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdot Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Think about it this way. If you really want to smoke on campus, you will find a way. I would say half of what goes on in college dorms is in some form not allowed on the campus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 As everyone has said, it depends on your school. Just ask the administration or university police; it's the only way to know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coyote Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I'm curious what the campus police say the rules are in this case. Please let us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pighair47 Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 Well being today was the first warm day, i noticed multiple people smoking hookah on campus so i emailed up to see if it is allowed this was there response. "According to the Student Handbook & Planner 2010-2011, "hookah" is not listed as 'Prohibited Item on Campus', or a 'Prohibited Item in the Residence Halls.' Be aware that there are a limited number of prohibited smoking areas on campus, none of which are located in any buildings." so i read that and assume that means i can smoke on campus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
